Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Energy storage for a lunar base by the reversible chemical reaction: CaO+H2O reversible reaction Ca(OH)2 [PDF]
A thermochemical solar energy storage concept involving the reversible reaction CaO + H2O yields Ca(OH)2 is proposed as a power system element for a lunar base. The operation and components of such a system are described. The CaO/H2O system is capable of

Satellite Imagery Reveals Near‐Horizon Urban Light Emissions Impacting Ambient Environment
Abstract A novel method has been developed to characterize ground‐based light sources from nighttime satellite imagery. The fraction of light directed toward low elevation angles is determined relative to the total emission into the upper hemisphere. This approach aims to identify locations that exhibit an increased amount of light emission at angles ...

Oxygen from the lunar soil by molten silicate electrolysis [PDF]
Accepting that oxygen, rather than gigantic gems or gold, is likely to make the Moon's Klondike, the extraction of oxygen from the lunar soil by molten silicate electrolysis has chosen to be investigated.

Conceptual design of equipment to excavate and transport regolith from the lunar maria [PDF]
NASA hopes to have a manned lunar outpost completed by 2005. In order to establish the base, regolith must be excavated from the lunar surface. Regolith will be used as a source for life-supporting elements and as radiation shielding for the lunar ...
